Progesterone

What are your instructions about taking progesterone? My  doctor's office called to say I have definitely ovulated and indicated that I can start taking it now or I can take it as soon as I get a BFP. 
They said it's my call...
Do you take it after O, or were you instructed to take it when you get a BFP? 

TIA and Happy Friday :)

    If your doctor is leaving it up to you then I would say start taking it now.

    First RE appt. 5/15; Natural cycle 5/15 monitored with 2 mature follicles and Pregnyl Trigger (full dose) + prometrium - BFN

    TI - Injectables (follistim + Gonal-F, Ganirelix, & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 9/15 --> 3-7 mature follicles (3 definites and 4+ that could have matured due to trigger) @ O -->BFN + 5 large cysts

    My RE started it 2dpiui (or 2dpo).  It's supposed to make your uterus nice and cushy comfy for implantation.  I say now too.

    I'll concur with everyone else! If there is implantation, you wouldn't want to risk losing the pregnancy because of low progesterone when it was perfectly preventable. My RE also put me on progesterone as of 2dpiui. If I got a BFN (they do the beta at 14dptrigger), then stop taking it. It's not fun, but worth it in the end!
